    The Chevrolet Chevy II/Nova is a small automobile manufactured by Chevrolet, and produced in five generations for the 1962 through 1979, and 1985 through 1988 model years. Built on the X-body platform, the Nova was the top selling model in the Chevy II lineup through 1968. The Chevy II nameplate was dropped after 1968, with Nova becoming the nameplate for all of the 1969 through 1979 models. It was replaced by the 1980 Chevrolet Citation introduced in the spring of 1979. The Nova nameplate returned in 1985, produced through 1988 as a S-car based, NUMMI manufactured, subcompact based on the front wheel drive, Japan home-based Toyota Sprinter.
    Available engines for the Chevy II in 1962 and 1963 included Chevrolet's inline-four engine of 153 cu in (2.5 L) and a new 194 cu in (3.2 L) Hi-Thrift straight-six engine. All Chevy II engines featured overhead valves. A V8 engine was not available in 1962 and 1963. With no documentation proving it, the legend of a dealer installed V8 engine being in a 1962 or 1963 model year Chevy II is a myth. Refer to the GM Heritage Center 1963 Chevrolet Nova information available on the GM Heritage site.[5] In addition, that documentation does not list a V8 engine as a possible dealer installed option.
    In 1962 and 1963 the Nova option for the Chevy II was available in a convertible body style, and a two-door hardtop was available from 1962 to 1965, although the hardtop was dropped when the 1964 models were first introduced, but subsequently brought back to the line later in the model year. Like all Chevy two-door hardtops, the body style was marketed as the Sport Coupe.
    For 1963, the Chevy II Nova Super Sport was released, under RPO Z03.[6] It featured special emblems, instrument package, wheel covers, side moldings, bucket seats, and floor shifter, and was available only on the 400 series sport coupe and convertible.[6] Cost of the package was US$161.40, equal to $1,606.28 today.[7] As mentioned above, the Nova option could not officially have V8 engines at this time-the standard SS engine was the six-cylinder (this was also applicable to the Impala (and later the early Chevelle c. 1964-65) when the SS was a sport and appearance package)-but small-block V8 engine swaps were commonplace among enthusiasts.

    1963 Eydie Gormie, a popular singer, released her hit record "Blame It On The Bossa Nova". America went wild - everybody was releasing Bossa Nova songs. Yes, Chevy knew EXACTLY what they were doing naming their small Chevy the "Nova". So this dragster is an obvious homage to the song, the Chevy "compact" and the era. WARNING the song will never go away once you listen to it. So glad you're back, Chris - your loyal fans, like me, missed you. Just blame it on the Boss Nova, I guess...

    Originally issued in 1971 I think, glad they reissued it. When I was a kid I remember my brother building this one.

    Fantastic build as always.
    I wasn't crazy about the model because of the mid engine.
    After I watched you're build my mind is totally changed!! I'll buy 3, or 4 of them. One to build box stock, one for kit bashing, maybe a front engine A/FX??? , and as always one to add to the stash. Really been missing your videos!!! Keep up the great work. Best Model review channel on UA-cam!!!!

    Awesome kit. Fantastic work as usual. Only "gripe" is they chrome plated the engine block/heads/oil pan/transmission, but that can be solved by a soak in Castrol Super Clean.

    Makes a nice companion piece to the standard '63 Nova wagons you built a while back. I especially like what you did with the windows. Been missing your updates lately because they have been a part of my Saturday evening viewing ever since lockdown four years ago.

    I like how you use your voice on others saying well it's not authentic!
    As you say it's a hobby build how you want to build it and don't let others discourage you!
    Again nice build!

  • @saltields7649
    @saltields7649 4 місяці тому +2

    Depending on how you want the model built, you don’t have to worry about the body at all. I got the idea to build only the chassis and not worry about the body at all.

    Chris, beautiful build. I do have a question however. I recently finished my 1970 Plymouth Roadrunner and it looked fantastic. But when I put the florr polish on the finished paint it dulled it and left streaks on the paint and window glass. Very disappointed. Has this ever happened to any of your builds? Any suggestions on a fix? Thank you for all you do for the modeling community. Keep up the great reviews.

    Does the glue that you use give any wiggle room, or is it an instant bond like CA glue?
